ABSTRACT

La endoftalmitis endógena es responsable del 2-15 % de las endoftalmitis, se relaciona con una infección sistémica hasta en un 52-90% de los casos, en el contexto de infecciones sistémicas como abscesos hepáticos, neumonia, infecciones de vias urinarias, meningitis, usurios de drogas endovenosas y fungémias. Haemophilus influenzae es un agente etiológico inusual de esta patología, hay pocos casos reportados a nivel mundial y no se han reportado casos en nuestro país; las endoftalmitis por Haemophilus se caractererizan por tener un pronóstico visual sombrio, ya que pueden presentar complicaciones severas y comprometer permanentemente la visión. A continuación, se describe un caso de endoftalmitis endogéna como primera manifestación de meningitis asociada a H. Influenzae en una paciente inmunocompetente y sin factores de riesgo.


Endogenous endophthalmitis is responsible for 2-15% of endophthalmitis, it is associated with a systemic infection in up to 52-90% of cases, in the context of systemic infections such as liver abscesses, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, intravenousdrug users and fungaemia. Haemophilus influenzae is an unusual etiologic agent of this pathology, there are few cases reported worldwide and no cases have been reported in our country. The endophthalmitis due to Haemophilus are characterized by having a somber visual prognosis, since they can present severe complications and can permanently affect vision. Mentioned hereinafter, a case of endogenous endophthalmitis is described as the first manifestation of meningitis associated with H.Influenzae in an immunocompetent patient with no risk factors.
